I only had enough time to do one of two things; write a post with no video, or edit and upload a video with no post. Guess which one I went with? Okay, so technically this is a post, but since it's really about not doing a post, I'm not sure it counts. Wow, I am tired! Where was I? Oh yeah, here's video recipe for the strawberry dessert sauce I paired with the cheesecake. Enjoy!

I do not mean to question your method chef, since you and your recipes made me look awesome so may times... but doesn't the use of the blender affect the test in a negative way? Would there be a difference textually and in taste if I use an electric hand mixer or a masher?

I don't know if this would be too much citrus-ey flavor, but instead of using strawberries, how about making a sauce with the fruit from the zested orange & lemon used in the cheesecake recipe? (that was a really long sentence)

Have you tried it? I just made a sauce using (all white pith removed) two lemons, two oranges, 1/3 cup of sugar and a bit of apple cider vinegar. Aside from my blender accidentally exploding, it was friggin' delicious! My cheesecake is still cooling in the oven (no cracks!), so I haven't tried it all together, but I think it'll be great. And with no wasted fruit. :-) Honestly, this just seems like a good idea to me. Why does the fruit always have to be strawberry?

I left my sauce in the fridge over a week in a plastic container. The top wasn't bulged out and I smelled it and it smelled like the 2nd day it had been in the fridge. I froze it right after I saw you said it lasts a couple of days or so. Is it ok to eat since it smled fresh still? Thank you! Oh and it was my 1st time ever making a cheesecake period. And it was PERFECT!!! I dont know why people are scared or hesitant when it comes to making cheesecake! It was after all a piece of cake!!!!!

HI Chef John I have been on a quest to make cheese cake just like at the cheese cake factory where the strawberries are in in that strawberry sauce on top of the cheese cake. I can not get this sauce to be the same consistency as the theirs. I made this one and it for some reason is not very sweet. I wonder if the strawberries aren't ripe. I maxed out on your sugar and still can't get it sweet enough. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? P.S. your New York Style "Sunshine" Cheesecake is the BOMB! Thank you just striving for the perfect strawberry sauce topping... Thank you! MEAT ME

Hi Chef, can't wait till tomorrow. I just made cheesecake and strawberry sauce, and classic macaroni salad. My family and friends are going to love both. Hope I can stay out of the strawberry sauce tonight.
